How Do Oysters Make Pearls?

Unlike gemstones or precious metals, pearls come from live organisms below the surface of the sea. While oysters are not the only creatures to form pearls, it is extremely rare to find one in a clam or mussel. However, hundreds of oysters must be checked before a pearl is found. For this reason, most pearls today are made by culturing. Your Lake of the Ozarks oyster bar brings you a look at how pearls are made!

How an Oyster Makes a Pearl

A natural pearl is formed when a foreign object, such as a parasite or a grain of sand, gets lodged in an oyster's soft inner body. To avoid irritation, the oyster forms a "pearl sac" to contain the object. This sac is formed from a smooth, hard crystalline substance called "nacre." Layer upon layer will coat the object until eventually the object is completely encased by the silky crystalline coatings. The ultimate result is what we know as the lovely and lustrous pearl.

While our oysters at Tucker's Shuckers may not contain pearls, they are flown in fresh just for us! Be sure to come by and check out the newest restaurant on the Bagnell Dam Strip. Opening day is set for Friday, March 27. See you soon!
